Do you love the thought of having friends and family over, but cringe at the thought of what to serve? Consider these great tips from the party masters. They’ll make your next get together an even bigger hit with the critics and you!
First of all, think light. More than ever, people are watching their weight and the amount of fat they consume. Use no-fat salsa instead of dips. Use turkey breast, instead of steak. Or for the grill, offer chicken for those watching their weight, and fix barbecued ribs for those who prefer beef, or pork.
Another great tip is to use filo. Butter and stack filo pastry sheets to make exciting wrappers and shells for baked appetizers and foods. The most important rule for any get together is to have plenty of appetizers.
One of my favorite appetizers is stuffed potatoes. Little stuffed potatoes with sour cream and vegetable toppings are a big hit. Another great appetizer, that always goes over well, is Rumaki (bacon wrapped water chestnuts).
One final word of advice, by planning your party you reduce stress and make it fun for you too. That’s the idea!
